Game Crashes On Start

Post by yuckify »

I was playing mod: NOTA v1.6 map: Tundra as soon as the game starts it crashes and tells me to look at infolog.txt which is completely blank. This is the second time this happened, but on a completely different computer. I have no idea why the game is crashing.

are you sure you looked at the right infolog? (eg look at the timestamp). are you on windows or linux?
if all the loading was done, and the game is already starting, there should be a lot of stuff in infolog already.

Could it be that your computer is not strong enough to handle spring? Could you post some specs?

I also get this. I have a computer that CAN run spring. It crashes on start, but only sometimes. My infolog.txt is the same as the one from the previous game (not been touched). I use Ubuntu 9.10.
Made a stacktrace in GDB (not sure if it's done well or useful:)

Code: Select all

#0  0x0858f0f7 in ?? ()
#1  0x0861437d in ?? ()
#2  0x08084868 in _init ()
#3  0x086142f9 in __libc_csu_init ()
#4  0x00a2baf4 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#5  0x08087381 in _start ()

I compiled from source. The problem seems to have gone away.
It is probably a problem with the Ubuntu package. Maybe it was built against older dependencies?
OP, what's your OS?
